Cow Bears Two Calves
Three Months Apart
\ "
All this may be entirely unbiological,
but you will beve a difficult time
convincing B. F, Taylor, prominent
Columbia man, among others that the
tale is not true. .
Three months ago a Jersey cow
owned by Keitt Hants of Fort Motte
gave birth to an equally fine Jersey
calf. Both the mother and the off"
spring developed healthily.
Thursday another calf was born to
the same cow just three months after
the first had come into the world.
Mr. Hane and the negroes on his.
plantation, while freely admitting
that the two births so close together
are unheard of, are willing to stake
claims they are authentic. Mr. Taylor
has seen both calves and adds his
force to the contention of the owner.1
The genital period of cattle is nine
months. Experienced raisers and
planters here yesterday failed to explain
the ur^biological process.?Sunday's
